Reviews:

2.0 Philbert Dy (Click the City)

“While the cause is definitely worthy, the movie itself is a little clumsily crafted, the argument coming off as simplistic and patronizing, all of it wrapped in a story that just seems to fizzle out.” (Read full review)

2.0 Mikhail Lecaros (GMA)

“The film is never as slyly comic or, conversely, as uproariously farcical as it could have been..” (Read full review)

2.0 Fred Hawson (Fred Said)

“Sometimes the director was not too sure where the movie was going. The supposedly satiric comedy is limited, and not too funny.” (Read full review)

1.0 Skilty Labastilla (Musings from Three Time Zones)

“It’s ironic that the movie is rated R-16 because its storytelling is so elementary, its characterization so simplistic, and its performances so broad that its seems to be targeted at kids. Quite an embarrassing effort.”
